Velour Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi all, Just bought a 330d in special order techno violet. I really like this colour so looking to spend some time on the cleaning / polishing to make it look its best. No idea which products would work best for a deep metallic colour though? Seems that Zaino Z2 or Colinite 845 would do good things, not sure what to put them on top of though. Any advice greatly appreciated.

johnss8 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Pinnacle Souveran works well with dark cars for that wet look, i've 845 on mine but as the top coat for the durability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGWT Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Sequence of Product Application: Recommended products / sequence to obtain the highest level of optical light refraction and reflectivity 1.Car wash concentrate- Menzerna Auto Shampoo 2.Detailer’s clay- Clay Magic™ ‘Blue Machine polish abrasion choice is dependant upon condition of paint surface 3.Machine polish 1- Menzerna Power Gloss Compound 4.Machine polish 2- Menzerna Intensive Polish - Menzerna PO106FF (for CeramiClear) 5.Machine polish 3- Menzerna Final Polish II 2- Menzerna P085RD (for CeramiClear ) 6.Glaze- Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze2 7.Chemical cleaner- Klasse All-In-One or Z-PC Fusion Dual Action Paint Cleaner Swirl Remover 8.(LSP) Polymer sealant- Z2PRO™ Show Car Polish + ZFX™ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive, spray applicator and vehicle surface with Z-6™ Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray between layers 9. Booster spray- spray surface with Z-8 Grand Finale™ Spray Seal Or Omit the Z-8 Grand Finale™ Spray Seal and apply a Carnauba wax as a last step product (LSP) 8a. (LSP) Carnauba wax- Pinnacle Souverän Paste Carnauba 9a. Quick Detailer Pinnacle Crystal Mist Notes: 1.As long as you have an understanding of what each step does you can alter the sequence or omit steps in the sequence to suit paints condition / needs 2.A polish that contains oils should be cleaned with a 1:1 solution of Isopropyl alcohol / distilled water before the application of a polymer (oils will not effect the setting-up of a Carnauba wax) 3.You cannot apply a polymer over a Glaze or a Carnauba wax due to bonding incompatibility 4.Carnauba wax will bond to a cross-linked polymer; conversely if a polymer is applied on top of Carnauba wax the polymer cross-linking / bonding may be compromised. 5.Although I would not state categorically that a product that is formulated with oils will abort the cross-linking or bonding process of a polymer just that the process may not be as complete, and its strength and durability may be adversely affected If there are steps or products processes that you don't understand pls send an e-mail or post ??? to forum.

runflat Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Err...now I am very confused. Nice guide for the more expert detailers Jon, but a little over my small head I am afraid. Can't really add anything here at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
